[ruby-talk:00634] ANN: testsupp.rb 0.1

Hi,

I want to announce my testsupp.rb library to the public. The lib is
not tested enough to be bullet-proof, but seems simple enough to be
relative error free (means, it works for me ;-).

But however, if you find any error, or if you have any improvement
proposal, please let me know:

	mailto: [e-mail]

I have put the files `testsupp.rb' and `testsupp.README' into the
`incoming' incoming directory of the FTP server right now. But it will
take its time until matz has moved them into the `contrib' directory.
Then you will find them there.

Following I have included the README, which is only the commented part
of the source.

Happy testing,
\cle

#
# The methods of that module are derived directly from the ones contained
# in the file `sample/test.rb' contained in the Ruby delivery. I don't know
# who has originally written them, but I assume it was Yukihiro Matsumoto
# <[e-mail]>. I have done not much more, than to put them together
# into this module, and modify theirs output. But, however, if you find an
# error within, it is certain that it was me, who has introduced it ;-)
#
# The methods are thought to help you to write very simple scripts supporting
# you to test a class, module or extension.
#
# Example of usage without categories:
#
#   require "testsupp"; include TestSupp
#
#   start_tests
#
#   s1 = "hello world"      # Create a string
#   s2 = String.new s1      # Create another one, with same contents as s1
#   ok s1 == s2             # Both should be equal
#   s1[1] = ?a              # Change "hello" -> "hallo" in s1
#   ok s1 != s2             # Now they should be different :-)
#
#   end_tests
#
# Example with categories:
#
#   require "testsupp"; include TestSupp
#
#   start_tests
#
#   check "String concatenation"
#   s1 = "hello"
#   s2 = "world"
#   ok((s1+" "+s2) == "hello world")
#   ok((s1<<" "<<s2) == "hello world")
#   ok s1 == "hello world"
#
#   check "String slicing"
#   ok s1[1..2] == "el"
#   ok s1[-8..-7] == "lo"
#
#   check "String replacement"
#   s1 = "hello"
#   s2 = "world"
#   s3 = s1
#   s1[1] = ?a
#   s2[1..-1] = "elt"
#   ok s1 == s3
#   ok (s1+" "+s2) == "hallo welt"
#
#   end_tests
